It.is reported that the foreman of a factory at Spartanburg, S. C., died last Friday from t he effects of a catfish bite on the thumb. The prevalence of small pox in Cuba and yellow fever in Brazil causes uneasiness to the IJnited States sanitary inspectors at the ports of those countries.

Free railroad passes will be fur nished all delegates who apply to Gov. Northen therefor. The following executive call ex plains the pnipose of the conven tion, and who are expected to be delegates: State of Georgia, Executive Depaptment, Atlanta, Ga., March 13.189L—To the people of Georgia: The Columbian exposi tion, to be held at Chicago in 1893, will furnish an opportnnity-to ad vertise to the world the resources of our state. It seems now gener- ally'agreed, by the press and the people, that such advertisement should be made by a display of our products, minerals and" woods, accompanied by circulars descrip tive of water powers, climate and the industrial and educational prospects of onr people. Other states, almost without ex ception, are making large appro priations from their state fnnds to avail themselves of this splendid opportunity. In the opinion of many legal gentlemen, the const! tution. of our state will not allow the use of the state’s money for this purpose. If this be true, and something is.not done looking to an exhibit by private subscription and individual effort, Georgia will be put at great disadvantage in this competitive display, and lose tbe place she has worthily won as the leader of progress and develop ment at the South. With a view to some concert of action, 1 have been repeatedly urged to call a convention of the people of the state to consider the possibility of ap exhibit for the world’s fair, and to devise means and plans for securing it, if it should be desired. I, therefore, respectfully request a convention of the representative interests of the state, to consist of the following delegates: The con gressional district vice. presidents of the State Agricultural Society; the congressional district lecturers of the state alliance; the president, vice president and secretary of the state fair; the presidents, vice pres idents and secretaries of all the ex positions held'in the state; the presidents, vice presidents and sec retaries of .all the county fairs held in the state; the mayors of all the incorporated towns and cities of the state; and the general man agers of all the'railroads doing business in the state, together with the commissioners already ap pointed to represent the state at Chicago during the exposition. The gentlemen Darned will be au thorized to appoint their alter nates, in the event it is impossible' for them to attend the convention in person. In order that the convention may act advisedly in the matters before it, I will invite Hon. John L. Hopkins, of Atlanta, and Hon. Andrew Cobb, of Athens, to deliver matured opinions upop the author ity given the general assembly, by the constitution, to make appro priations. This convention will meet in the hall of the house of representa tives, at 9 o’clock, on the morning of the 6th of May. W- J. Northen. A gehtleman or large “eorporos- ity” and of large means, engaged me in agreeable conversation the other day. He complained that bis indebtedness is very nncom-- fortably large. Understanding his good Bature, as well os his trading habits, I told him that he didn’t have good sense any how, on the subject of borrowing. 1 suggested that he could sell enough property to pay his debts, and there would be sufficient income from the rest to make him feel like a gentleman. He replied that not much would be left — Now here is what strikes me. He prefers very large possessions with, very large indebtedness, to an ample fortune Unencumbered, He pays taxes, insurance and in terest unnecessarily and unwisely, because he would feel poorer if any part of his property should be sold. Would he not be richer? Say. Tile Oppression of Bad Roads. — FieSd’ 'Marshal Count Von ' Moltke, one of the most famous military characters of Germany, died at Berlin last Friday. He was 91 years old, having been' born at jure in 1800. ! The report that was telegraph-, ed from New York last Friday that Secretary Blaine had been as sassinated by an Italian, was- an abominably mean trick,' and its author should be punished. - The Merchants’ week festivities at Savannah commenced last Mon day and will conclude Saturday. The programme, as it is being presented, affords unbounded en tertainment to all who attend. Local legislation should be rel egated under specific regulations, to the respective counties to be ef fected, and our legislators-will se riously disappoint their constitu ents if they foil to make some such provision at the summer session. Republican leaders give evi dence constantly that they do not 'desire th j tariff question to be any part of the next platform of the re? publicaa party-. This.is an addi, ftional reason why it should be re tained as the -ehifif issue of the democratic campaign, of Memorial Southern states, was unusually elaborate nud earnest. Among the most notable orators were Gen, Wade Hampton, of South Caroli na, at Augusta, and Gen. 1>. Gordon,, at LaGrange. Among notable printers in poli tics the New York World names Governor Hogg, of Texas; Govern or Peck, of Wisconsin; John H. Oberly, of Illinois, ex-civil service commissioner; the late Daniel Manning, Cleveland’s secretary of the treasury; Assistant United States Treasurer E. H. Boberts; United States Senator GalliDger, of New Hampshire; Congressmen Davis, of Kansas; Cummings, of New York; Eithian, of Illinois; Williams, of Massechusetts; and -Senators Hawley, of Connecticut, Dawes, of Massachusetts, and Plumb, of Kansas. Senator Beagan, of Texas, has resigned his seat in the United States Senate, to accept the chair manship of the Texas state railroad commission. Mr. Horace Chilton has been appointed to fill the un expired term of ex-Senator Bea gan. The newly appointed Sena tor has never been in public office, but he is said ’to be one of the ablest and most eloquent men in the Lone Star State, a native of Texas and an unflinching detno- caat. < *-•.-4 The Sunny South'will entertain the Georgia Press on May 1st, Friday. Eve'-y editor iu the state has been invited to attend a ban quet at S o’clock p. in., ihat day, in the Sunny South building, 208 Houston streen, Atlanta, Ga. The occasion is to.celebrate the comple tion of the 17th volume of the pa per, the only strictly literary paper in Georgia. We regret onr ina bility, to attend." At the Memorial exercises at Angustalast Monday, just after Gen. Hampton concluded his ora tion, a South Carolina man mount ed the platform and nominated Wade Hampton for. governor of South Carolina In 1S92. The nom ination is a decidedly good one, and the democrats of §onth Carolina will lion.>r themselves by enforc ing it next year. The citv of Bojie, Italy, was terribly shaken last Thursday by the explosion of 265 tons of pow- •-'The observance or d e v that bad been stared iu a mag- Day throughout Geoi gia an 0 az ; u0 several usiks from the city. Great destruction to people and property resulted. A uamber of wounded, have died, and some of the histsne- buildings were nearly destroyed. It is undoubtedly true that,when the farmers begin to consider the crying necessity for better and more permanent public roads, they also take into consideration the cost which is. to come out of their pockets in the shape of taxation. A superficial view of the subject translates this taxation into a hard ship which is not easily borne, for ihe reason that it is" palpable and direct. This is the yiew taken by nine ont of ten men. And yet the worst, and the most oppressive (because the most con tinuous) taxation which the farm ers of Georgia and the south have to endure is that imposed on them by bad roads. This is not a mere theory of newspaper editors. The fact has been demonstrated by some of the more practical farmers themselves. It may be'said that the tax imposed by bad roads is an indirect one; in other words, that, while the farmers pay the tax, they do not know why they pay it.—At lanta Constitution. The indirect tax of bad roads is borne almost exclusively by the, farmers, while a direct tax to make good roads would be borne equally by all the people. An Early jlorning Marriage... • ' The marriage of ;two young Houstonians, well-kncwn in their respective sections of the county, is related by the Fort Valley En terprise as follows: ' ‘Mr. W. N. Boier and Miss Les- sie Bush presented themselves at Hymen’s altar about 3 o’clock, a. m., Thursday, 16th inst, to share the joys aDd ills of wedded lite. It was an unusual hour,. but every thing can’t happen at the usual hour. These parties were forced to transact this important business while the “husbandman slept, ’and while all of the household who cast a forbidding glance upon the ef forts of these two loving'hearts to hecome as one, also slept, A ride in the afternoon was planned, and other arrangements planned, also, but the "bride’s father put in an appearance. Acquiescence in the parental wish lulled the old gen tlemau into a peaceful, unsuspect ing repose, nnd when the house hold was quiet as a sepulchre, in terested lviends, and some rela tives friendly to the consummation, assisted-the brave young lady through a window at 12 o’clock, and by 3 a. m. a'parson was arous ed aud two hearts were made hap py. Wat ought to honor this de votion, and cherish Ibis love through good and evil, and never let uukindness or neglect bring:a shadow across the path of the wo- mau who has given into his hands her heart, her hopes and her life.” The same paper contained the following notice, also: “.Mu Vernon Fuilwoodand Miss Mattie Hammock were married last 'Sunday at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Tim Hammock, -Parson Foster officiating. “We wish for these two couples just entered the wedded, estate, happiness and success.’ - The congratulations and bast wishes of the Home Journal are cordially extended. The Florida legislature has not yet elected a United States Sena tor. Gall still leads iu the caucus ballots. Charges of attempted bribery against Call have been preferred, an investigation is pend ing, and a row is imminent. The peopleof.Florida are dissatisfied with the protracted dead-lock. The absurd two-thirds rule is the cause of the trouble, and should be abol ished. A decided majority are for Call, and he should be elected. The old prison grounds, at An dersonville, recently purchased by the Grand Army of the Republic, of Georgia, ik being rapidly trans formed into a beautiful, well regu. lated park. Capt. I. D. Crawford, of the Hotel Lanier, Macon, Ga., has charge of the work, aud under his supervision every practical im provement is made, and . at the same time the evidences of the prison life are preserved. The state commission to con sider tbe “betterments” claims of the old Jesses of tbe Western & Atlantic railroad (state road) has not yet concluded its labors., It is reported that the evidence as taken down by the stenographers' con tains 734,000 words, jnst one more than the Bible is said ta. contain. The speeches in behalf of the claimants were concluded Tuesday. Count Ciprani, an Italian, was battered with a walking cane nnd thrown from a hotel window at Baltimore last Friday, by a Col. Talliaferro. A discussion concern ing the merits of Blaine arose, the IfcaKaiT spoke disrespectfully of the Secretary, the Colonel called him an organ grinder, and the fight commenced. The Atlanta Constitution is'gen- erally a fair political prognrstiea tor,-but its prediction that Mills would be appointed to succeed Beagan in the United States Sen ate was deeided’y off. But then, the appointment was the act of a Hogg, aud usual calculations couldn’t count. __ Dou’t.Hirc Them.
